chapter 49:Temporary separation

Without realizing it, the time Yuujiro and Mikumo have spent in Alvarez's empire is three months and some days. Yuujiro was now 15 years old

When they were just staying at Brandish's house, they told them that they were looking for a person who was Irene Belserion and Brandish. Hearing that, he told them that she had recently left on an important mission that the emperor had given her so she did not It is known how long it will be until she returns.

It was known that Irene did not spend much time in the empire, she was the same as the emperor since she did not like to stay in one place and when she left it was for a long time, sometimes it was for months and also for years, that she did not it was seen from these sides.

Yuujiro upon hearing what Brandish said, got a little upset, since he had come from far away from this place to meet her but who would have thought that she wasn't even here in the first place.

When Yuujiro heard that, he decided to wait patiently for a few months in this country to wait for her arrival, but after three months of waiting and without any news that she is going to return, he got bored so he decided that it was time. for them to leave and continue on their way to another place.

As the days and weeks passed, Flare and Brandish have become good friends and the two of them are always seen together, whether playing or sleeping, also the problem that Yuujiro and Mikumo had of being persecuted as suspects had already been solved.

Brandish had taken care of that, she had a teacher who taught her magic and when she told her teacher what had happened she immediately solved the problem and Yuujiro and Mikumo were no longer wanted people.

With the time they have spent here they have realized that the kingdom is quite safe, a person can walk quietly at night without fear of being robbed or killed since there were guards throughout the kingdom who guarded the security of people.

Crime here was low and very difficult to find because the emperor had very strong magicians who were in charge of protecting the kingdom and its citizens and also for that reason he was so loved among the people.

.....

Empire alvarez at night.

"So what are we going to do now, we've already waited a long time and there's still no sign that Irene shows up." Mikumo said looking at Yuujiro who was lying next to him on a bed in Brandish's house, the two shared a bed and could sleep better since Flare was not with them now.

Flare had already gotten used to sleeping with Brandish and now she was not with them she was now in another room sleeping with Brandish.

Yuujiro looking at the ceiling replied. "Well, since it hasn't shown up and we have nothing else to do here, it's about time we left."

"Okay, I agree, we have already covered everything here and we have already seen everything, it is time for us to continue on our way." Mikumo said getting closer to Yuujiro wrapping his arms around his body. "But what are we going to do with Flare, she has been very close to Brandish, if we tell him that we are leaving she will be very sad."

Yuujiro thought about the words Mikumo said to him and what he said is true, since Flare has become friends with Bradish and has also seen that he is more open to people.

Flare in these months that she has been here, she has been very happy since she now has friends to play with, while when they traveled with them, she always had to be accompanied due to the dangers that were on the way.

Here it was very safe, there was no crime and it was an ideal place for her to stay for a while, she is no longer alone, she has us and a friend to whom she is very close now.

They had recently met Brandish's teacher, rather his magic teacher. He was a pleasant and child-friendly person, from time to time he could be seen helping the children and teaching them a little magic.

Yuujiro knew that she was a good person and that she had no bad intention towards them and that is why she let Flare go with her along with other children to learn some magic.

After thinking about it for a while, he said. "Well, maybe it is better to leave her here, since now she has more friends and I see that she is happier, a child has to play, laugh and have fun, do what normal children do, but if he continues with us he will not be able to to do that."

"We, our path, will accompany us with many deaths and scenes that a child should not witness, although apparently Flare does not mind seeing any of that, what's more, she has fun when I do." Saying that, Yuujiro formed a smile on his face.

"Tomorrow we will ask her what she wants to do, if she wants to stay or is going to come with us, she will choose."

***

The next morning.

Yuujiro was sitting in a square that was near the house watching as Flare was next to Brandish with other children playing. Yuujiro looked at them for a long time and then he called Flare.

"Flare come here.!"

Listening to Yuujiro calling her, Flare stopped doing what she was doing and with small steps approached him.

Yuujiro: "Flare, you like being here."

"If I like being here, it's fun." She replied with a bright smile. Yuujiro seeing that he said to him. "you want to stay here for a while, while Mikumo and I are outside ."

Flare listening to what Yuujiro said bowed his head and said: "They are going to leave me here, they are going somewhere."

Yuujiro: "haha yes, but it will only be for a short time and then we will come for you, while we are outside you will stay with Brandish, it is fun to play with her, right."

"Yes, it's fun," she said, raising her arms upward showing how happy she was, but then asked, "How long are they going to leave ??!

Yuujiro: "Well, I don't know, but if you want to come with us, that's fine, but if you want to stay with Brandish to play, it's also fine, if you stay for a while longer, you may meet the dragón grandmother before us. "

"Seriously" she said with stars in her eyes. "And when she arrives I will tell her that you were here waiting for her."

Yuujiro :: "Then you will stay for a while with Brandish while we are outside."

Flare: "Yes, I'll be good and I'll wait for you guys to come back."

"Oh, but what a good girl you are," Yuujiro said rubbing her head. "For a moment I thought you were going to cry so that we wouldn't leave you alone, but I can see that you've already grown up and you're not a crying girl."

"hm hm" she said puffing up her chest, "of course I'm not a crying girl and I'm already grown up."

"Hahaha it's true, sorry, I completely forgot." Yuujiro said looking into her eyes and you could see that there was no fear or sadness in Flare's eyes, then he looked at Brandish who was standing near them and called her.

"Brandish, you can come a moment."

Yuujiro: "Brandish, we ... me and Mikumo are going to leave for a while, while we are outside Flare wants to stay with you, what do you say."

"Seriously," she said with a happy expression, but then she said. "So you guys leave, that's sad, but you will come back true."

Yuujiro: "Of course, it's only going to be for a short time, I hope you can take care of Flare for us while we're gone."

"Well count on me," she said, greeting Yuujiro with a smile on her face, happy that Flare was staying with her.

"Well then Flare, Brandish, here we say goodbye ... goodbye." Yuujiro said standing up to leave when suddenly Flare and Brandish hug him.

Yuujiro was surprised by that but then he also wrapped his arms around them, after a while the two released him and he just looked at them.

"Say hello to Mom and tell her not to worry that I'll be fine." Flare said as he saw Yuujiro start to walk away.

"They both behave well and don't be bad girls, after a while we will return" said Yuujiro and disappeared from the sight of the two girls.

After a while the two turned around and continued playing as they were just now.

...

In the distance were Yuujiro and Mikumo looking at the two of them. "Are you sure, you don't want to say goodbye properly" Yuujiro asked seeing that Mikumo was with a sad look on his face.

Mikumo: "No, it's okay, it will only be a while, then we will come for them and if you want to come with us later, but now it is better that you stay because, as we said before, the places we will visit later will be dangerous for her."

Yuujiro seeing her only made a smile and then the two turned around disappearing in the wind.
